  4. Crop protection: Talking CROWN ROT with Dr Steve Simpfendorfer

    04/02/2024

    Crop protection: Talking CROWN ROT with Dr Steve Simpfendorfer

    Dr. Stephen Simpfendorfer joins Senior Project Manager, Kate Coffey, to unravel the complexities of Fusarium Crown Rot in wheat production. Crown Rot has the potential to cost farmers, with losses that could mount up to $23.4 million, and the culprit is lurking in a staggering 75% of tested paddocks.  We navigate through the maze of contributing factors, from the shift in farming practices to the nuances of soil health and crop rotation history. With Dr. Simpfendorfer's insights, we grasp the full picture of how wet seasons, larger stubble volumes, and subsurface soil acidity can amplify the disease, threatening our cereal crops right at the critical grain fill stage. Together with Dr. Simpfendorfer and with the support of GRDC, we are aiming to equip farmers and agronomists with the tools to be proactive and overcome the crown rot challenge.
